History
[edit ]
The first written mention of Bohušov is from 1255. It was one of the settlements that were founded in the area shortly before at the initiative of the bishop Bruno von Schauenburg. The area was then settled by German colonizers.[3] Knight Herbort of Fulme had built here a castle called Fullstein (Fulštejn), and Bohušov, that time called Gottfriedsdorf, was a group of hamlets that was formed in the castle grounds.[4]
During the Hussite Wars, the area was devastated. In 1570, the Fullstein estate was acquired by the Sedlnický family and the village of Gottfriedsdorf was renamed Fullstein. In 1649, the castle was conquered and severely damaged by the Swedish troops.[4]
In 1938, Bohušov was annexed by Nazi Germany and administered as a part of the Reichsgau Sudetenland. After World War II, the German population was expelled and the village was resettled by Czechs.[4]
